Post-Process Services
At Maybrey, the casting is the beginning, not the end. Our post-process capability means we can take your component from raw casting through to fully finished, tested, and ready to fit, all from a single facility in Kent. This reduces your supply chain complexity, protects quality at every handover, and saves time.
Surface Preparation
- Shot blasting: removes surface scale and prepares for coating or inspection
- Aluminium grit blasting: gentler abrasive process suitable for non-ferrous castings
Thermal Processes
- Heat treatment: stress relief, solution treatment, and ageing for aluminium alloys
- Annealing: softening of ferrous and non-ferrous castings as required
- HIPping (Hot Isostatic Pressing): eliminates internal porosity in safety-critical castings. NADCAP approved.
Non-Destructive & Destructive Testing
- X-ray: internal defect detection in aluminium and ferrous castings. NADCAP approved.
- NDT (Non-Destructive Testing): general inspection capability. NADCAP approved.
- Dye penetrant testing: surface-breaking defect detection. NADCAP approved.
- Chemical and mechanical testing: material certification and property verification
Machining
- CNC machining: conventional and CNC machine shop facilities
- Conventional machining: turning, milling, drilling
Surface Finishing
-
Polishing: for architectural and art castings requiring high surface quality
-
Patina: chemical and natural patination for bronze and copper-based castings
-
Powder coating: durable coloured finish for architectural and commercial work
-
Wet painting: conventional liquid paint application
Assembly
- Welding: in-house welding capability for joining and repair
- Assembly: complete assembly of multi-component castings and sub-assemblies
